When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

State machines are so common that there are tools devoted to creating them by drawing circles and arts. There are simulators that will recognize your state machine ...

There are various approaches to developing programmable logic controller (PLC) applications using experimental techniques. Modifying existing PLC ladder logic programs is another common approach ...

When developing code to operate a real-time clock (RTC), it is often beneficial to understand how the clock core operating logic has been defined. This tutorial discusses the counter-chain structure ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...
